About the area
Who we serve in Central London
Central London covers the six boroughs at the core of the capital: Westminster, the City of London, Camden, Islington, Kensington & Chelsea, and Southwark. The housing stock here is among the oldest and most complex in the country, with a high proportion of listed buildings, mansion blocks, and period conversions where maintenance obligations and lease structures matter as much as physical condition.

Housing stock
What to expect
Georgian and Victorian terraces, mansion blocks (particularly in Kensington and Marylebone), purpose-built flats, converted Edwardian houses, and an increasing number of high-specification new-build developments. Significant listed building concentration across conservation areas including Belgravia, Bloomsbury, Barnsbury, and Primrose Hill.
Market context
Current market
Prime central London values have been flat to slightly negative over the last 18 months, with prime new-build outperforming period stock. Rental yields remain tight. Leasehold structures dominate, making title review and lease terms critical. Short leases and expensive ground rents are a recurring concern for buyers.
